Since we're sharing our favorite holiday traditions this week, I wanted to continue my winter adventure series with Vaseline along for another Christmastime treat: the department store window displays.

You've heard me say it before, but when it comes to Christmas in New York, there's only one way to describe it and that's magic. Especially when strolling anywhere along 5th Avenue near The Plaza Hotel and all of the department stores with their elaborate window displays. This year, I opted to skip the heavy nighttime crowds and headed to Bergdorf's with Lydia around 9am. It was quiet and peaceful -- like being alone in a really pretty toy store.

Have you checked out the window displays this year? Which ones are your favorites? (I especially loved the amethyst window at Bergdorf's -- mainly because it's my birthstone!)
